Sažetak
Research into the dynamics of linear craniofacial parameter changes during growth was conducted on a sample of200 lateral cephalometric radiographs: 106 were of female and 94 of male subjects. The subjects were divided into five age groups: 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 14 and 15, 16 and 17 and 18 years and over. The aim of this study was to determine the mean values of linear craniofacial variables for the chosen age groups , to observe possible differences according to sex, and to register the dynamics and intensity of the changes during growth of the viscerocranium. An estimate was made on five linear craniofacial variables of the total sample of eugnathic subjects : anterior cranial base, maxillary base, mandibular base, anterior and posterior face height. The means of the variables and differences according to sex were established, as well as the intensity and dynamics of growth for each variable. The means represent the standards intended to enable quantitative assessments of the craniofacial growth in orthodontic patients. The male subjects exhibited higher values for all linear parameters. Appraisal of the dynamics shows that the majority of tested para- metres have a more intensive growth at ages between 10 and 11, and 12 and 13 years, which can be attributed to puberty acceleration. Quantitative indicators resulting from the research on this sample can be used for clinical estimates of craniofacial growth in subjects of the Croatian population.
